I have data in below format in an Oracle table column:
ABC:XYZ ABC:MNO:LMO ABC:MNO:LRT:RNO PQR:TYU:MNO
I want to have data in below format i.e to have distinct first string after first occurrence of :
:
XYZ MNO TYU
I can get the value for first record using below query
select REGEXP_SUBSTR('ABC:XYZ','[^:]+$') from dual
But I am unable to get it for others if there are more than one :
in a column value.
Any guidance would be great.

You can use two more arguments:
select REGEXP_SUBSTR('ABC:XYZ', '[^:]+', 1, 2) from dual;
Here is a db<>fiddle.
